BERLIN: Australian Nick Kyrgios said he “tried everything” to be fit after withdrawing from the Wimbledon warm-up tournament in Halle on Monday due to a knee issue.

The 28-year-old, who lost the 2022 Wimbledon final in four sets to Novak Djokovic, had surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his left knee in January.

“I tried everything here in Halle to be fit over the past few days, but I had to make the decision to pull out,” Kyrgios said on Monday.

“When I play, I want to put in a performance like I did here last year when I was in the semi-finals, but that just wasn’t possible,” the Australian added.

Kyrgios, ranked 31, had been due to take on Italian Lorenzo Sonego on Tuesday morning in the German grass-court tournament, one of the most important lead-up events for Wimbledon, which begins on July 3.

Kyrgios complained of restricted movement after his first-round loss to Wu Yibing in Stuttgart earlier this month.

“I feel my knee every point. I can’t walk without pain,” Kyrgios said during the match.

With a 37-10 record, Kyrgios played the best season of his career in 2022, chalking up a tour-leading 12 wins on grass.

His place in Halle will be taken by 45th-ranked Russian Aslan Karatsev.
